I could be horribly wrong about this, but it might be the Battle of the Alamo he's talking about here....there were about 600 or so mexican casualties, and he mentions a "bandalero." Just a shot in the dark here...

@cystermisterie I'm gonna say Little Big Horn. Devils Canyon is in Montana. So is the Custer battlefield. However there were less than 600 killed, total. Soldiers and Native Americans included. On the other hand, the battle of the Alamo had approx. 600 Mexican soldiers killed. So, in less we talk to a member of the band from the album. I guess we'll never know. My money's on The Battle of Little Big Horn. And if you ever get a chance to go see the battlefield, I highly recommend it. Very sobering experience.
